O Holy Mother,
Our Lady of Czestochowa,
Black Madonna, Queen of Poland,
We come before you today with hearts full of reverence and love.
You, who have been our faithful protector and advocate for centuries,
We honor you and seek your powerful intercession
As we journey through the challenges and joys of life.
O Blessed Virgin,
Your image, so ancient and revered,
Speaks to us of your enduring presence and constant care.
Your face, marred by wounds,
Reminds us of the suffering and trials you endured with your Son, Jesus Christ.
Yet through those wounds, you radiate the beauty of faith, hope, and trust in God.
Teach us, dear Mother, to persevere as you did,
Even in the face of hardship and sorrow.
Help us to carry our crosses with patience,
Knowing that, like you, we will one day share in the glory of the Resurrection.
O Lady of Czestochowa,
Patroness of Poland and Mother of all peoples,
We ask you to watch over your children,
Both near and far.
You who have protected Poland through times of war, oppression, and hardship,
Extend your maternal protection to all who seek your care.
Be with us in moments of trial,
When our faith is tested and our hearts grow weary.
Guide us back to your Son,
Who is our strength and our salvation.
We entrust to you, O Holy Mother,
Our struggles and our sufferings,
Our hopes and our dreams.
You, who know the human heart so well,
Understand our needs and our fears.
We ask you to intercede for us before the throne of your Son,
That we may receive the grace and courage to face whatever life may bring.
O Black Madonna,
Your holy image has been a beacon of hope for generations,
Drawing the faithful into your loving embrace.
Through wars and occupations,
Through persecution and trials,
Your people have turned to you,
And you have never failed them.
Today, we too turn to you,
Seeking your unfailing help.
Grant us the grace to trust in your intercession,
And to follow your example of steadfast faith.
Mother of Mercy,
Look with compassion upon all who suffer—
The sick, the lonely, the persecuted, and those weighed down by the burdens of life.
Comfort those who are afflicted,
Heal those who are broken in body or spirit,
And bring hope to those who are in despair.
May your loving presence be a source of strength and peace for all who call upon you.
We also ask you, dear Mother,
To protect our families and loved ones.
Cover them with your mantle of love and safeguard them from all harm.
Guide parents in raising their children with faith, wisdom, and love.
Help our homes to be places of peace,
Where Christ is honored and loved above all.
O Lady of Czestochowa,
In this time of uncertainty and division,
We ask you to bring unity to our world, our nations, and our communities.
Heal the wounds of division and hatred,
And help us to see one another as brothers and sisters,
United in the love of God.
Give us the grace to be instruments of peace,
And to work tirelessly for justice, reconciliation, and understanding.
You, who have been the hope of the Polish people for centuries,
Have inspired countless souls to follow the path of holiness.
We ask you to inspire us, too,
To live lives of virtue, humility, and love.
Help us to strive for holiness in our daily lives,
Imitating your example of obedience to God’s will.
May we, like you, say “yes” to God in all things,
And trust in His divine plan for our lives.
O Holy Mother,
As we gaze upon your beloved image,
We are reminded that you are always near.
No matter where life may lead us,
You walk with us, guiding us, protecting us, and praying for us.
Help us to remain faithful to your Son,
And to live lives that reflect His love and mercy to the world.
Finally, O Lady of Czestochowa,
We ask for your help in our own personal needs and intentions.
(Here, mention your personal intentions.)
We trust in your powerful intercession and believe that, through your prayers,
We will receive the grace we need to live according to God’s will.
We offer this prayer to you,
With love and confidence,
Knowing that you will never abandon us.
Guide us always closer to your Son, Jesus Christ,
And one day, may we join you in the eternal joy of heaven,
Where we will praise and glorify God forever.
Our Lady of Czestochowa, Queen of Poland,
Pray for us.
Amen.
